Turbo Rail I loved your thread. I have a 66 Buick LeSabre, that I plan on putting a turbo in maybe 2. I already have the engine, but its a 5.3 ltr. You have shown me alot on what to look for. Question. Did you have clearance issues with your oil pan? Thanks in advance.

The first time that I rode in a muscle car was probably around 1970. My older sister was dating a guy that had an orange GTO Judge. He took my buddy and I for a ride and even ran it through the 1/4 mile outside of town where all the hot rodders went to race. I'm pretty sure that I was hooked at that time. Love those GTOs, and yours (your dad's) is very cool.

If you just use the bolt on stuff then I believe you will have clearance issues.
you may also have issues with your power steering pump hitting your steering box

Update is. It's sitting exactly as shown inthy last pick. It's been so damn hot I haven't wanted to work on it. Now that it's cooled down I'm getting the itch to work on it though ao shouldn't be too much long before the motor is out. I'm about 2hrs from pulling it. Just need to start working on it first

Thanks guys. Right now it's in the same place as the above pic. I was going to start working on it this week but it hasn't happen yet haha
I'm prob going to put in a different cam while I have it apart for bearings and maybe add a support bracket for the turbo and clean up the engine bay while it's apart Other then that it's all going to be the same and hopefully it will be back on the road soon

UPDATE: Finally got my lazy *** out in the garage and pulled the motor out and got the crank out. i saved the motor when I shut it down at the slightest sound of ticking. the number 1 rod bearing did not spin but it did haev a little of the bearing stuck to the crank.
I took it to the machine shop yesterday and they think they can get the bearing pieces off and polish the crank (not turn it) and I shoudl be good to go.
dad called yesterday and said he would love to drive the car the week of his birthday 12/12 guess i need to get this thing back together.
I also got that 1959 Galaxie back a couple weeks ago and it MIGHT be getting a litte 4.8 love this winter just so I have a FI reliable fun car to drive around
